      Spyderco Sharpmaker vs. Lanksy Diamond Stone set

      I have both and much prefer the Sharpmaker with the addition of the diamond rods. The Lansky sits in a drawer.

      Bowling pin match 6-24 at MCFG ??

      Yeah, I think the pin plate rack is long gone. Haven't seen it for at least 5 years.

      Light Loads for Steel Challenge Matches - No power factor

      I have tried downloading for steel and it has done nothing but screw up my timing. These days I stick with a load that I like.

      Revolver gunsmith for USPSA set up

      Bosshoss is the way to go for a competition setup. He did my 929 and the difference is night and day.

      The Perfect Gun: Revo addition

      I feel I were in your position I would consider a Smith 627. You get 8 shots of 38/357 in a big heavy revolver that helps absorb recoil. I have both a 625 and a 627PC and for me, the 627 is clearly the better gun.

      Bowling pin plinking ricochet

      I got hit in the leg with a 45 slug at a pin match once. It didn't draw blood, but it hit hard! Another time, a shooter got his safety glasses broken and had a minor injury to his face. Another guy had a bullet hit his new Honda.

      Backpacking in Indiana

      The low gap trail at MMSF makes a nice leisurely overnighter. It's about 12 miles with lots of camping opportunities. Best of all, it is a loop, so you end up at your car!

      Clays for 9mm?

      I have tried a few loads with Clays and 9mm. Never could find a load that was accurate. I like slower powders for 9mm. Have been using WSF the last few years with great results.

      Maxamet and Cru-Wear steels

      I gave that to my son after he split a bunch of wood for me. Honestly I miss that knife.

      Maxamet and Cru-Wear steels

      Honestly, I like pretty much all modern powder steels. But there are differences that make certain steels better or worse for certain purposes. For example, in an EDC knife, I like to have a very sharp blade with decent corrosion resistance. I like a steel that is relatively easy to sharpen so...

      Maxamet and Cru-Wear steels

      Here is a reground Para 2 that I have in Cruwear. My only experience with cruwear is with this knife which has a much thinner edge than the manix (0.009 behind the edge vs 0.025 for the manix). I like the steel. Edge holding is way below Maximet but it sharpens up very easy, takes an...

      Maxamet and Cru-Wear steels

      I have a spyderco mule team in Maximet. To me, it's like a super hard version of M4, but it doesn't take quite as aggressive of an edge. Edge holding is very good... but seems a little below s110v and 10v to me. Then again I haven't had the knife long... those are just my first impressions...

      Trigger job for S&W 686 SSR in IDPA?

      One thing you can do to lighten the pull is bend the mainspring... it is easy to do and you don't even need to take the side plate off if you are careful. Check out YouTube. There are videos showing how to do this.

      Bowling Pin Shoots

      I am not sure this helps due to the drive time, but there are some matches at Edgar County Sportsmans Club and Clark County Conservation Club, both in Illinois. These are money matches but the stakes aren't high. Last time I shot Edgar County I think I paid $24 to shoot all divisions (and came...

      Pistol- Moving away from 231 to CFE or Titegroup...

      Titegroup is a nice powder in 9mm, but my favorite is WSF. I haven't had good results with 231 in 9mm. Accuracy just wasn't up there with TG or WSF...

      Bowling Pin match 08/27 @ MCF&G
